915 That's tough to shift

This is the same post I was considering on the way into work this morning...I've been wondering the same thing about my difficulty in shifting a 78 into gear in the morning. I know I've got a 915 tranny, which is by all accounts much more tricky/quirky than the G-50, but I was wondering what the tell tale signs of a pending clutch replacement are. This is my first pcar as well, and although Wayne's book is great for showing the clutch assembly replacement, it doesn't really mention what the precursors are.

When the car warms up it's much better, although it still isn't as smooth as I would like it to be. My very trusted mechanic has not mentioned anything so I'm hoping it's just a product of being cold in the morning. Also, I don't have the PO's complete maintenance log so I'm not certain which clutch is currently in the car, though it's certainly not the original w/ 135,000 mi.
